A trashcan assembly can include a body portion, a lid portion pivotably coupled with the body portion, and a sensor assembly configured to generate a signal when an object is detected within a sensing region. The sensor assembly can include a plurality of transmitters having a first subset of transmitters and a second subset of transmitters. A transmission axis of at least one transmitter in the first subset of transmitters can be different from a transmission axis of at least one of the transmitters in the second subset of transmitters. An electronic processor can generate an electronic signal to a power-operated drive mechanism for moving the lid portion from a closed position to an open position, such as in response to the sensor assembly detecting the object.

An electronic waste tracking device, process, and system to track waste from one location to another location.

A cassette to dispense a pleated tubing having an annular body, an annular cover and a plurality of apertures. The annular body may have a generally U-shaped housing with a central cylindrical core. The annular cover may extend over the annular body and define a gap, while being secured to the body. The plurality of apertures may be radially provided in an angular wall in the annular body.

The present invention called bag with ventilation hole and reinforced area to adapt to a receptacle, comprises a folding upper edge located in the upper area of the neck of the bag and a reinforced area located below the folding upper edge that includes at least one hole in the bag for ventilation. All of this allows the bag to have the capacity to expand its entire storage area inside a receptacle and as a mutual benefit the extraction of accumulated air between the bag and the receptacle; providing an improvement in storage and superior use of space.

Specially-designed rack and plastic bag, and methods of use. The bag is mounted on the rack with a lower portion of the bag disposed inwardly and downwardly of the top of the rack, and an upper portion of the bag disposed outwardly and downwardly of the top of the rack. Workers place thin-section waste material into the bag. When the bag is full, the bag is replaced with an empty bag. The bag has holes, which enable air to escape through bag side walls while the bag is being compressed in a baler. Because air escapes through the side walls, more of the air can be removed for a given baler compaction force thereby the resulting bale weighs about 10% to about 25%, or greater, more than a bale made with the same materials and the same baler conditions, without use of the rack and bags of the invention.

A storage container with a climate controlled inner chamber.

In accordance with example embodiments of the present disclosure, the invention provides a combination waste collection container and aerated composter for general composting and waste collection and more specifically to aerated composting and organic waste collodion. The utility of the invention can be extended to the complementary food scrap processing method known as anaerobic digestion, through specific modifications.

A device, use, and method for steam sterilisation and/or steam decontamination and/or sterilisation of the contents of a container. The device, method, and use enable efficient, simple, and reliable sterilisation and/or decontamination. The device makes it possible to collect and sterilise a wide variety of solid, semi-solid, or liquid items and to decontaminate various types of biologically contaminated objects effectively and reproducibly. The system includes in particular of two parts. One of them is the docking station; a unit which can be used again and again for many sterilisation/decontamination cycles. The container itself, which is brought into the docking station for sterilisation/decontamination, is used for collecting the items and is disposed of, in particular incinerated, after sterilisation/decontamination. However, the container has functional elements which interact with the docking station to ensure sterilisation/decontamination on, in particular at least one inductively heatable heating element.
